Updates and Hello!
Love Life:
“There is a certain age when a woman must be beautiful to be loved, and then there comes a time when she must be loved to be beautiful.” Françoise Sagan
If that's true, then I am one of the most beautiful women alive.
Things are still going swimmingly with Richard and me. We've been together more than 3 years. All systems are still "go" and oh yeah are we having fun :)
Housing
We bought a house. Thanks to the killing I made sellling my house in Jackson before the real estate market collapsed and after the horrific breakdown of my and Michiel's marriage I was able to buy half a twin here in Philadelphia. (We both pay mortgage)
It's a great place - a lot smaller than the house in Jackson but just right for us. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, bad kitchen . . no air conditioning, though.
Job
I used to work at a non-profit. Apparently that organization thought their employees should also be "non-profit" because the pay sucked big time.! Richard carried a lot of the financial weight so money wasn't really a problem except for my knowing I was worth a whole lot more.
Now I work for Philadelphia Public Schools. Got my Pennsylvania teaching certificate and got a huge boost in salary. I have money again! and summers off! I get home at 3:30 every day!
I also write an anonymous blog about Philly schools (can't wait for the gritty, inner-city movie , based on my experiences to come out ;) This is all fun.
Facebook
Gawd what a life sucker that is. I just use it to play Scrabble/Lexulous with Bertho, who used to post here at LJ. If you're interested in a game, let's do it. I would be glad to kick your verbal butt ;)
